This paper deals with a resource efficient artificial intelligence (AI) service architecture for multi-channel video streams. As an AI service, we consider the object detection model, which is the most representative for video applications. Since most object detection models are basically designed for a single channel video stream, the utilization of the additional resource for multi-channel video stream processing is inevitable. Therefore, we propose a resource efficient AI service framework, which can be associated with various AI service models. Our framework is designed based on the modular architecture, which consists of adaptive frame control (AFC) Manager, multiplexer (MUX), adaptive channel selector (ACS), and YOLO interface units. In order to run only a single YOLO process without regard to the number of channels, we propose a novel approach efficiently dealing with multi-channel input streams. Through the experiment, it is shown that the framework is capable of performing object detection service with minimum resource utilization even in the circumstance of multi-channel streams. In addition, each service can be guaranteed within a deadline.

Today's highly competitive construction scenario forces all the major players in the field to take up multiple projects which have put an undue pressure on the resources available within the organization. Under such a situation, there are many instances where in the resource requirement exceeds its availability due to multiple activities (with same resource requirement) which are scheduled to start simultaneously and thus results in the constrained resource becoming a bottleneck of the project. As a consequence of sharing resources, this paper studies the impact on the completion date of two similar projects under two different conditions, the first one resulting in a postponed end date and the second without any postponement. The resource utilization, the possibility of substitution of a resource and its subsequent impact on the deadline of the project is analyzed under these two circumstances. The study is done on a Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) platform instead of leaving the schedule with a traditional Critical Path Method (CPM) finish, which gives an added advantage of validating the robustness of the emerging CCPM trend in the field of resource management.

We consider the problem of scheduling tasks of a precedence constrained task graph, where each task has its execution time and deadline, onto a set of identical processors in a way that simultaneously minimizes the number of processors required and the total tardiness of tasks. Most existing approaches tend to focus on the minimization of the total tardiness of tasks. In another methods, solutions to this problem are usually computed by combining the two objectives into a simple criterion to be optimized. In this paper, the minimization is carried out using a multiobjective genetic algorithm (GA) that independently considers both criteria by using a vector-valued cost function. We present various GA components that are well suited to the problem of task scheduling, such as a non-trivial encoding strategy. a domination-based selection operator, and a heuristic crossover operator We also provide three local improvement heuristics that facilitate the fast convergence of GA's. The experimental results showed that when compared to five methods used previously, such as list-scheduling algorithms and a specific genetic algorithm, the Performance of our algorithm was comparable or better for 178 out of 180 randomly generated task graphs.

A sensor network is a special network that makes physical data sensed by sensor nodes and manages the data. The sensor network is a technology that can apply to many parts of field. It is very important to transmit the data to a user at real-time. The core of the sensor network is a sensor node and small operating system that works in the node. TinyOS developed by UC Berkeley is a sensor network operating system that used many parts of field. It is event-driven and component-based operating system. Basically, it uses non-preemptive scheduler. If an urgent task needs to be executed right away while another task is running, the urgent one must wait until another one is finished. Because of that property, it is hard to guarantee real-time requirement in TinyOS. According to recent study, Priority Level Scheduler, which can let one task preempt another task, was proposed in order to have fast response in TinyOS. It has restrictively 5 priorities, so a higher priority task can preempt a lower priority task. Therefore, this paper suggests Preemptive EDF(Earliest Deadline First) Scheduler that guarantees a real-time requirement and reduces average respond time of user tasks in TinyOS.

실시간 시스템이란 시간적인 제한을 가지고 작업 수행 결과의 정확도가 보장되는 시스템으로 경성 실시간 시스템과 연성 실시간 시스템으로 분류된다. 최근 분산 실시간 분야에서 새로운 패러다임으로써 폭넓게 활용되기 시작한 실시간 객체 모델인 TMO는 Kane Kim과 Kopetz에 의해 처음 제안되었다. TMO 모델은 경성 또는 연성 실시간 응용과 병렬 컴퓨팅 응용 프로그램에서 사용 될 수 있으며, 시스템의 기능적인 면과 시간 조건 수행 모두를 명확히 정의할 수 있다. TMO의 네트워크로 구성되는 실시간 분산 환경에서의 실행을 위해 몇 개의 TMO 실행 엔진이 개발 되었는데, 그 중에서 LTMOS라는 리눅스 기반의 연성 실시간 미들웨어 엔진이 한국외대 RTDCS lab.에서 개발되었다. 하지만 LTMOS의 실시간 시스템 수행 중 작업량의 과부하로 인한 deadline 위반이나, 시스템간의 분산 IPC 통신에 있어서 Channel Traffic이 빈번한 경우 실시간 시스템을 유지할 수 없다는 문제점들을 갖고 있다. 이러한 문제점들을 해결하고 조금 더 효율적인 실시간 시스템을 유지하기 위해서, TMO 프로그램의 resource 정보를 담고 있는 ODS(Object Data Store)만을 다른 노드에 있는 자신의 TMO 프로그램 Replica로 이주해서 실시간 로드 밸런싱을 구현하는 기법을 사용하였다. 이에 본 논문에서는 TMO 프로그램들의 deadline 위반 및 Channel Traffic 부하를 감지할 수 있는 Node Monitor와 최적의 노드를 선별할 수 있는 Migration Manager를 새롭게 추가하였고, 쓰레드들의 스케줄러인 WRMT에 이주 작업을 하기 위한 부가적인 기능을 구현하였다. 2D 이미지의 관측점을 줄여 계산량을 대폭 감소시키는 장점을 갖는다.것으로 조사되었으며 40대 이상의 연령층은 점심비용으로 더 많은 지출을 하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 4) 끼니별 한식에 대한 선호도는 아침식사의 경우가 가장 높았으며, 이는 40대와 50대에서 높게 나타났다. 점심 식사로 가장 선호되는 음식은 중식, 일식이었으며 저녁 식사에서 가장 선호되는 메뉴는 전 연령층에서 일식, 분식류 이었으며, 한식에 대한 선택 정도는 전 연령층에서 매우 낮게 나타났다. 5) 각 연령층에서 선호하는 한식에 대한 조사에서는 된장찌개가 전 연령층에서 가장 높은 선호도를 나타내었고, 김치는 40대 이상의 선호도가 30대보다 높게 나타났으며, 흥미롭게도 30세 이하의 선호도는 30대보다 높게 나타났다. 그 외에도 떡과 죽에 대한 선호도는 전 연령층에서 낮게 조사되었다. 장아찌류의 선호도는 전 연령대에서 낮았으며 특히 30세 이하에서 매우 낮게 조사되었다. 한식의 맛에 대한 만족도 조사에서는 연령이 올라갈수록 한식의 맛에 대한 만족도는 낮아지고 있었으나, 한식의 맛에 대한 만족도가 높을수록 양과 가격에 대한 만족도는 높은 경향을 나타내었다. 전반적으로 한식에 대한 선호도는 식사 때와 식사 목적에 따라 연령대 별로 다르게 나타나고 있으나, 선호도는 성별이나 세대에 관계없이 폭 넓은 선호도를 반영하고 있으며, 이는 대학생들을 대상으로 하는 연구 등에서도 나타난바 같다. 주 5일 근무제의 확산과 초 중 고생들의 토요일 휴무와 더불어 여행과 엔터테인먼트산업은 더욱 더 발전을 거듭하고 있으며, 외식은 여행과 여가 활동의 필수적인 요소로써 그 역할을 일조하고 있다. 이와 같은 여가시간의 증가는 독신자들에게는 좀더 많은 여유시간을 가족을

In virtual memory system, when a process attempts to access a page that is not resident in memory, the system generates and handles a page fault that causes unpredictable delay. So virtual memory system is not appropriate for the real-time system, because it can increase the deadline miss ratio of real-time task. In multimedia system, virtual memory system may degrade the QoS(quality of service) of multimedia application. Furthermore, in general-purpose operating system, whenever a new task is dynamically loaded, virtual memory system suffers from extensive page fault that cause transient overloading state. In this paper, we present efficient overloading control mechanism called RBPFH (Rate-Based Page Fault Handling). A significant feature of the RBPFH algorithm is page fault dispersion that keeps page fault ratio from exceeding available bound by monitoring current system resources. Furthermore, whenever the amount of available system resource is changed, the RBPFH algorithm dynamically adjusts the page fault handling rate. The RBPFH algorithm is implemented in the Linux operating system and its performance measured. The results demonstrate RBPFH\`s superior performance in supporting multimedia applications. Experiment result shows that RBPFH could achieve 10%∼20% reduction in deadline miss ratio and 50%∼60% reduction in average delay.

In this paper, a new priority assignment ploicy and concurrency control for improvement of transaction predictability and performance are proposed. We present a new priority assignment algorithm called classified priority assignment(CPA), which solves the defects of Earliest Deadline First(EDF) by using class and bucket, and deals with real-time transaction and time-sharing transaction effectively. Also, we present a new concurrency control policy called conditional optimistic concurrency control using lock. It uses optimistic concurrency control for improvement of predictability, and solves transaction conflict by considering priority and execution time of transaction to waste less system resource.

Satisfying the rigid timing requirements of various real-time activities in real-time systems often requires some special methods to tune the systems run-time behaviors. Unbounded blocking can be caused when a high priority activity cannot preempt a low priority activity. In such situation, it is said that a priority inversion has occurred. The priority inversion is one of the problems which may prevent threads from meeting the deadlines in the real-time systems. It is difficult to remove such priority inversion problems in the kernel at the same time to bound the worst case blocking time for the threads. A thread is a piece of executable code which has access to data and stack. In this paper, a new real-time systems. It is difficult to remove such priority inversion problems in the kernel at the same time to bound the worst case blocking time for the threads. A threads is a piece of executable code which has access to data and stack. In this paper, a new real-time server model, which minimizes the duration of priority inversion, is proposed to reduce the priority inversion problem. The proposed server model provides a framework for building a better server structure, which can not only minimize the duration of the priority inversion, but also reduce the deadline miss ratio of higher priority threads.

One of the key features of a mobile crowd-sensing (MCS) system is task allocation, which aims to recruit workers efficiently to carry out the tasks. Due to various constraints of the tasks (such as specific sensor requirement and a probabilistic guarantee of task completion) and workers heterogeneity, the task allocation become challenging. This assignment problem becomes more intractable because of the deadline of the tasks and a lot of possible task completion order or moving path of workers since a worker may perform multiple tasks and need to physically visit the tasks venues to complete the tasks. Therefore, in this paper, a hybrid search algorithm for task allocation called HST is proposed to address the problem, which employ a traveling salesman problem heuristic to find the task completion order. HST is developed based on the tabu search algorithm and exploits the premature convergence avoiding concepts from the genetic algorithm and simulated annealing. The experimental results verify that our proposed scheme outperforms the existing methods while satisfying given constraints.

Ceiling cooling and heating system that consider load arrangement and space in the ceiling needs to be developed. Therefore, experimental and economic changes were done to verify the performance of compact type VAV. The test results were as follow. 1) Noise test result, measuring approximately 50.4 dB~56.6 dB (before ceiling in landfill), had a better ceiling deadline than the current measure, about a 10 dB noise reduction, so that the office baseline (40~50 dB) noise was judged to be less than test. 2) For the static pressure test result, taking out an outside hydrostatic 25 mmAq, 24.8 mmAq was measured, respectively, at the point. 3) For the life-cycle cost analysis result, the initial investment cost, maintenance replacement costs, and maintenance costs increased 0.2%, but the energy savings ratio was 19.5% while the whole life cycle savings of 40 years LCC was reduced 11.9%.
